The deadly 3,000kg car bloat trend

Australians are obsessed with SUVs and huge utes, but experts say they are making our roads deadlier

"Also in recent years, Australia has spectacularly failed at its mission of bringing down road deaths and serious injuries. Speed – and their proclivity to be driven faster – and overall height make larger vehicles far more likely to kill or cause serious injury when hitting pedestrians, cyclists, motorbikes and smaller cars."

"Newstead warns how this mentality can lead to an arms race to larger cars for those wanting to bolster their own safety. Crucially, if a driver can’t make eye contact with a pedestrians, “they are going to drive as though they aren’t there”"

So, the Financial Conduct Authority was preparing to apply a 'public interest test' as to whether it was in the public interest to 'name & shame' financial services firms that it had investigated & found at fault... but after sectoral lobbying they have given that up & are retaining the 'exceptional circumstances' test.

So even if the FCA find bankers acting badly it will only (still) tell us in 'exceptional circumstances';

remind me who the Govt. works for?

"The fact that Congress hasn't updated [US]Americans' privacy protection since Die Hard was in theatres is not a coincidence, or an oversight. It is expensively purchased inaction, from a heavily concentrated - and thus wildly profitable - privacy invasion industry, that has monetised the abuse of human rights at unimaginable scale."

“18F was the people’s #tech shop,” one fired #18F worker tells WIRED. “There’s a giant hole left by the closure of 18F. Requests from across the country for help far outpaced 18F’s capacity before the closure.”

The meeting was a potential turning point after the frenetic first weeks of #Trump’s 2nd term. It yielded the first significant indication that Trump is willing to put some limits on #Musk, whose efforts have become the subject of several lawsuits & prompted concerns from #Republican lawmakers, some of whom have complained directly to Trump.

From The Digital Republic, by Jamie Susskind:

"the tech industry, particularly in America, has benefitted from a legal environment that entrenches its power.

Sometimes that is through an absence of #regulation, as in the lack of federal data protection laws;

other times through regulation that benefits the powerful, like the consent trap;

and occasionally through shields that give the industry special protection, like Section 230."

#bigtech - governments made them too powerful 😒
